History
Mohr believes that a person can simply write down their wish list and wait for it to become reality. However, this would appear to be a new name for ideas proposed back in 1937 during the Great Depression by Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich which sold into the millions, and which is still widely available. Hill's ideas were then adopted for Christianity in a most blatant manner by radio and television evangelist Reverend Ike, and then by a stream of televangelists such as pop singer turned preacher Kenneth Copeland; builder turned preacher Bob Tilton and even Jim Bakker of the failed PTL television empire.
Mohr's idea that individuals can use their desires to "connect with the cosmos" and make those desires become reality is a rewrite of the work by Napoleon Hill and others who have promoted similar ideas before.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
